>In April 2017, an extraordinary claim of the Israeli security services was published in Ha’aretz (Hebrew): over 400 Palestinians had been detained under suspicion they may be involved in future terrorist attacks. They were detained not on the basis of evidence, but on the decision made by an algorithm.

>The algorithm began analyzing the social media profiles of Palestinians, and deriving from them a series of indicators which, when aggregated, produced a profile of a possible attacker.

>The fact that someone fits such a profile – for instance, he praised attackers and changed his profile picture – does not in any way serve as evidence a court will accept. Basically we are asked to believe a system, of which we know nothing, may accurately predict the actions of a specific person in the future, and, on the verdict of said system, we may then detain that person – not for something he did, or even planned to do, but for something he may do.

>One criterion is that the ‘terrorist’ is likely to be young and single: he does not yet have family responsibilities. Another is that he is likely to be related to someone who has been arrested and tortured by the Israelis, especially a brother, father, or other close relative, so that he has a motive for revenge.

>When a Palestinian is detained by algorithm predicting future actions, the security services simply put him under administrative detention. This basically means no legal process: the military commander of the West Bank rubber-stamps an order actually issued by the ISA, and the person is thus sentenced to six months incarceration with no possibility of appeal. After six months, the general may rubber-stamp the detention order again, ad infinitum; people have served long years without ever seeing a court.

>Israeli lawyers of Palestinians noticed a new pattern: when someone is arrested by algorithm, he is charged with “incitement.” The level of proof required is quite low. Even supporting a Palestinian armed group online may suffice. The smoking gun is what happens in the rare cases when an algorithm detainee is acquitted: then he is almost immediately put into administrative detention, i.e. the one without any judicial oversight.

>All the while, the prisoner is repeatedly told they should confess to the phantom crime of “incitement”: they are informed that should they confess, they will be given a relatively light sentence – but should they plead innocence, they will be held in detention until the process is over. That may take several years; the offered sentence is lesser. So, our software says you’re guilty. Do you want to take it to court and go home after five years, or confess and go home after three?

>How UK police are turning to Israel for help stopping 'lone wolf' terror attacks


>The rise in the number of Islamist attacks by “lone wolves” in Europe has led to increased liaison on the issue between a number of foreign security agencies and the Israelis. A British team, according to Whitehall sources, is due to travel to Israel to look at the methods used there in the near future.

>But even if human intelligence begins to dry up, Israeli officials point out that they built up wide ranging communication and surveillance system. In addition, no fewer than a thousand members of the police force 29,000 strong are involved in monitoring the Internet and social media sites.

>Israel has rapidly expanding export sales in surveillance. The country’s leading defence electronic contractor, Elbit, showcases a nationwide database system called "WIT" (Wise Intelligence Technology) which can be used in conjunction with cameras, "Skyeye", mounted on drones or helicopters. It draws in information from signals intelligence as well as open sources such as Facebook and Twitter and can automatically alert emergency services if a terrorist attack is underway. It offers technology which can integrate multiple communications channels to smartphones and walkie-talkies of security officials.

>Nir Mariash, Elbit’s director of homeland security unit, a former police brigadier, promotes WIT as “a system of systems. It is an end-to-end solution to counter terrorism which can also be used to combat crime, it is something which can obviously be used abroad.”
